Our incredible planet is filled with countless species of flora and fauna, each who live in their perfectly designed ecosystems. These native species are being threatened by non-native invaders who slowly push them out of their habitats. Something must be done to stop them and preserve our wildlife habitats for future generations. Chef Philippe Parola has the solution!
This fish is a delicacy in ASIA. So the smart solution is actually to built a cannery and fish processing plant near these lakes and have the Asians where this fish originated to catch them and process them. An over abundance of food source isn't called an invasion, It is Stupidity! Or maybe because Americans don't eat fish that isn't FILLETED.
US govt keep complaining about #1 - Homeless people not being fed well and #2 - invasive carp population rising. So - why not catch the invasive fish, process it and then help feed the homeless?
Im here to tell u that im a fisherman, been catching fish my entire life. And the silver carp taste better than any catfish or bass ive ever ate. And u can cook em so many ways. Ive cooked them like a meatloaf in the oven and covered em with ketchup and baked them. Highly recommend trying it out.
I'd love to try the carp, but the only problem is that I cannot buy it in stores or have it in restaurants. Also, the on-line sites for it only seem to offer it in industrial-size amounts. I live in Chicago, so the carp is local to the region, and with all the restaurants in the city, none seem to offer it. Is there a listing of places around the country that serve it?
you can head down the illinois river which should only be less than an hour away from you- and catch as many as your heart desires. If you don’t want to bother with that chicagoland H marts sell them.
@@Esco5555 Thank you for the info. I guess it's time to check out an H Mart and to organize a fishing trip for the Spring! If I screw up cooking one, there are plenty of other carp on which to practice.
The black berry jelly is an awesome touch, I gotta use jellies in my cooking more honestly. This year I’m thinking of making a nettle, wood sorrel and mint jelly come springtime!
People are spoiled in regards to food, and what they will, and will not eat. People have been conditioned by the food corporations to eat their garbage. Wastefulness only generates more money in the pockets of these wealthy folks that own and sit on boards of the major food corporations. They use that money to Pay off the media/commercials, and pay off politicians to make favorable laws for their corporations. These wealthy shareholders will do anything to protect their profits. Money is their power, the only way we can make fundamental changes and stop their influence on society is for us to make better choices and stop eating from these major corporations. Need to elect politicians that do not take money from these major food corporations. 🐗 🍴 ✊🏼
Amazing! I’m from Michigan and became aware of the Asian carp problem around the Great Lakes about 20 years ago. I casually followed the proposals and solutions authorities tried, to contain the fish…didn’t seem to slow them down. Coming across your videos 9 yrs back was a breath of fresh air, I feel like I read about you in the news years before the video. The renaming and rebranding of the fish to silver fin was genius, I didn’t know that other fish like Seabass and orange roughy use this strategy before. I couldn’t stop telling people about your videos when I first saw them, I was probably annoying lol a couple years ago I even saw a hipster pop-up tasting room in Detroit serve silverfin! Sadly I did not make it, I still have not tried silverfin. Can’t beat them eat them is the best idea I’ve seen to combat the invasive species problems, it’s the most economical, ethical, and biological way to deal with the problem. When I first came across your videos, I for sure thought you would be a guest on the Joe Rogan podcast, what you do fits that format. Would help to get a ton of exposure as well. Have you been on any podcasts or considered trying to get on the Joe Rogan podcast? he’s been a polarizing figure lately lol however, some of the best interviews are with people like yourself, conservationist, hunters, cooking wild game, etc. and you seem like you would be a very interesting guest to listen to.
@@ChefPhilippeParola that would be a great interview! One of his comedy buddies, Theo Von, I believe is from Louisiana. He has a podcast with a similar format and guests. I don’t watch his show too often but he has a pretty decent size audience. I’d watch that interview!
We made a fine and delicious catfish fried in canola oil last night. Mayo, dill, grey poupon, onion, garlic and ground pepper sauce. Sautéed olive oil string beads with potatoes and onion. Spinach straight up. A glass of pineapple- coconut sparkling water Clear America from Walmart on the rocks. Catfish from Whole Foods. I am subscribed now and quite content. Your carp was fried nicely but we don't eat that or snakefish. The world does not revolve around hot sauce. Unless it's Crystal or Texas Pete. However, Lolas or Grace will do nicely. Enjoyed your video very much!
@@ChefPhilippeParola cooking snails all the way through makes them so tough it became inedible in sorts of ways. Serving it without overcooking it makes the meat taste really good, but doesn't kill the parasites. That's why they don't sell them anymore at street food vendors in china, but maybe it's because someone died from it and it makes the fact that it has parasites apparent to everyone. But all meats generally have parasites, though not as deadly.
I've had them in sardines carp came in the can just like tuna fish taste like tuna fish I was amazed . A can of Carp sardines in Thailand¢ 27 cents . 3 cans for ¢ 81.
First fry the fish for a while, then bake it, then fry it some more??? o_0 Maybe my kitchen is strange or something but if I did that the fish would be like a piece of wood, lifeless and dry!!! No more than 55°C in the middle if even that.
I have found the best way to cook carp and it goes like this. Take the fish and cut it up the way you like your fish and them you go out and buy a wood shingle and you soak the shingle in water for around 24 hours and you take it put it down on the grill and then crap your wooden shingle cook till you like your fish cooked take it off the grill you take the fish off and throw the fish out its how we cook carp in Canada and cut and eat the shingle LOL JK
One thing ive learned is while indeed there are fish that truly are super boney or nasty no matter who you are,it is all a matter of personal opinion. I love trout,salmon,and lots of ocean fishes especially with firm or semi firm flakey texture. People love crappie regarding it as one of America's best eating fish I couldn't disagree more they are soft and mealy almost like someone chewed it for you. And bluegills are even worse. People often disregard catfish as food but i eat them while not my favorite fish they're not bad for a warm mud water state like Texas
